What has happened in the lecture/s, what topics have we dealt with, what exercises have we done?

It was the second day of the seminar class. The main outline of the seminar was concentrated on interface between market and technology, characteristics of innovation and innovation mapping. We also discussed about change which deals with doing something new. We also discussed about 3 lens of technological innovation which comprises of technological lens, market lens and competitive lens. I also realized that cooperation is very important in competition (Co-optation = Competition + cooperation).

sir also told an old story of 1930s. According to him, in 1930 a meeting of 10 richest people of the world was held.

Hence one must seek continuous improvement through innovation as time passes.
